They are "sealed to prevent evaporation / spilling.......but incase of 
overcharging....EXCESS  gasses will escape!

Note:    speaking of batteries....our Capstone MicroTurbine Generators use 24 
 Optima  Batteries in each unit.....one set has 4 bad........wonder if we 
will replace all 24..or do it my way......I've got the resistive load tester and 
of course a capacitance tester as well...GGGGGGGGGGGGGG  I'll let the boss 
decide....that way I won't feel guilty!  gg
